08 Jul 2022
Dr. Rebecca Heiss & Dr. John W. Ayers join Ask Dr. Drew LIVE to discuss a new study on the effects of the SCOTUS Roe v. Wade decision and access to abortion pills – specifically a record-shattering increase in Google search trends for mifepristone / mifeprex and misoprostol / cytotec. Dr. John W. Ayers is a Johns Hopkins and Harvard trained computational epidemiologist who uses big data to yield rapid and novel insights with measurable public health impacts – for example, the discovery of seasonal patterns across mental illnesses, and forecasting algorithms for infectious diseases. Dr. Ayers will reveal the results of a new study that shows how internet searches for abortion medications reached record highs after the draft Roe V. Wade SCOTUS ruling was leaked, and what that means for the future of women's access to healthcare.
